DRAFTSMANIS FOUNTAIN AND LETTERING PEN Filed July 729 1929 2 Sheets-Sheet 2 Inventor Edward L .flelaney Attorney Patented Dec. 16, 1930 UNITED STATES DBAFTSMAN'S FOUNTAIN AND LETTERING PEN I Application filed .July 29,

The present invention appertainsto new and useful improvements in drawing implements and more particularly to a novel fountain drawing pen, the same having as its principal object the provision of means whereby may be used a considerable period of time without the necessity of again filling the same. V V i 7 These and numerous other important objectsand advantages of the invention will become. more apparent to the reader. after considering the invention as described and claimed hereinafter.

In the drawings: a Figure 1 represents a longitudinal sectional View through the improved pen. 7

Figure 2 represents a longitudinal sectional view fragme'ntarily showing one end portion of the same provided with a bulb for creating a suction within the reservoir and fragmentarily showing its opposite end depending into an ink receptacle, the latter being shown in broken lines. Figure 3 is a side elevation of the removable pen.

Figure 4 represents an end elevation of removable pen.

Figure 5 is a cross sectional view taken substantially on line 5+5 of Figure 2.

Figure 6 represents a fragmentary longitudinal sectional View through the dispensing end portion of the reservoir.

Figure 7 represents a top plan view of the air vent plug. 7

Figure 8 represents a bottom planview of the air vent plug. 7

Referring to the drawings, wherein like numerals designate like parts, it will be seen that the invention includes a hollow reservoir in the form of a barrel 5, enlargedat its upper end as at 6 and tapering at its lower end as at 7 to the point 8. A bore 9 extends on the longitudinal axis through the pointed end portion of the barrel 5 and as clearly shown in Figure 6, one side portion of the 1929. sri r 3811357.

I a Theupper interior'p'ortion of the barrel is provided with threads 11 While the upper enlargedportion 6 is reduced at itsjends to provide an, internal shoulder 12.

This collar is disposed in circumscribing relation with respect to the barrel 5 and a set screw 29 having a knurled head 30 is capable ofbeing fed through the collar 28 so that its inner end will engage the barrel in the manner shown in Figure '1 to prevent displacement of the pen from the said barrel.

A clamp screw 31 is engageable through V the spring leg 27 of the penand by grasping readily filled.

the knurled head 82 thereof and feeding the same inwardly, its inner end will engage the tapering. end portion of the barrel 5 to properly adjust the leg27. v v I v It will thus be seen that by unscrewing the plug 13, the needle valve element 23 will be lifted and a proportionate air opening or communication of the reservoir with the: at.- mosphere will in cooperation with the pointed end 21 of the needle valve regulate the flow ofin.

As shown in Figure 2 by; maintaining the valve 23 1n open posltlon and removing the" pen 2 5 the. tapering, end 7 of the valve may be dependedintojanink bottle (as shownin F ig .2) and byapplying a bulb 33to the head 14' of the plug '13,- bymeans of the threaded element- It is obvious that the. flow of inkcan be regulated with more accuracy by the use of .themeans explained above; than in the use of conventional 'types' of pens now in use, o

- and furthermore, this improved pen when filled with ink will not require filling for a considerable period of time thereafter.

' It is also apparent that the deviceoan be readily disassembled forthe purpose of 113E pair,,replaceme nt and cleaning of the various elements. The foregoing specification has beenin detail andit is to be understood that while the description has been specific, va-' rious changes in the size, shape and materials may be resorted to without departing fromthe'spiritand scope of the invention as claimed hereinafter. t o Having-thus described is claimed as new is:

A fountain drawing pen comprising a-bari rel tapered at one end, said tapered end of the barrel being. provided with a duct open- 1 from the inner end -of the said-plugv and; adapted to have its free end seat within the;
